Snow?
Ok let me start off by saying I hate snow. any way i was driving home and i was hitting tons of snow in the road and i was just wondering have any of you guys with suspension drops expereinced any problems with winter time anything i should be aware of because im looking to drop my car and the snow makes me think twice..

only time I have trouble is after driveways hav been plowed into the road. I f---ing hate hitting those chunks. That's only because I have a body kit too. as far as driving, good tires will guide you through.

I have had no problems in the winter... I have read some things that say that being lower actually helps a bit with how the weight distribution works... Lower center of gravity or something... Anyway, if it isn't deeper then my bumper I'm just fine.

I cant use my car in the snow, I take out the 4x4 pathfinder .
-My tires are horrible in the snow, my barely grab. I have to be going no more than 15mph to be able to turn and might not even have a chance to stop.
-Brakes are horrible in the snow
-The car has to much low-end power even letting go of the clutch with a tap of the gas will make the wheels spin.
-Body kit, full suspension work, full exhaust system... im not looking forward to ripping or damaging anything.

Just have to be a little more careful. I can normally get in and out of my driveway no problem. but when the plows makes that nice pile of S@#T at the end, I came off of it and scraped in the front. also watch for wheel well chunks in the road, they hurt. other than that, no problem and buffalo,ny is a good test of winter abilities IMO.

Haven't experienced a problem as far as w/ the drop as far as w/ the snow. Just like someone said, I hate the when damn snow plows come by and plow a huge snow bank in front of the driveway. Then that becomes a problem.
